Setup a machine in the cloud

What is the solution?

We decided to resolve the bandwidth issue by hosting private machines in the cloud. Naturally, any container image downloads would be much faster for a machine sitting inside a datacenter. And the only stress on our bandwidth would be for the ssh session to the cloud-box which was minimal. Large and quickly scrolling logs could be problematic but they were manageable. Using solutions like screen or mosh further eased any concerns about ssh hang-ups which could kill our running containers.
